Trump should 'be very nervous' about what just happened to Giuliani: legal expert

During an appearance on MSNBC, former prosecutor David Henderson claimed the massive $148 million judgment two Georgia poll workers received after winning a defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani should be a red flag for Donald Trump and his inner circle.

Speaking with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., Henderson exclaimed, "To be, honest this isn't just a win, this is one of the biggest wins I've ever heard of."

Using that as a jumping-off point, the former prosecutor claimed the result is a "preview" of what Trump, Giuliani and others slated to be tried in Georgia on racketeering charges related to the 2020 presidential election can expect next year.

"That is an epic victory. The only thing you have to acknowledge, and this goes to your point about nationalism, it does not make up for what these two women went through," he told the host before cautioning, "Rudy Giuliani is in such a downward spiral, they're not likely to see a dime of that money."
